Hardcover. Alan Breese (illustrator). First British Edition, Second Impression. Book in Near Fine condition save for some very minor wear to boards. Dust jacket complete and shows some minor edge wear. Both book and dust jacket in collectible condition. Andre Alice Norton was a ground breaking writer of science fiction, speculative fiction, crime fiction, romance and fantasy. When she approached a publisher with "Ordeal in Other Where," she was told that women didn't read science fiction and men didn't read books with female protagonists. The feedback didn't deter her. After her first publication, she never stopped writing. Norton spent nearly 7 decades writing in a dozen genres. Called "The Grande Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy" she left behind a legacy of over 300 titles. Norton was the first woman to win The Gandalf Awards (1977), a lifetime achievement award for renowned fantasy writers. Later winners would include Ursula K. LeGuin (1979) and Ray Bradbury (1980). She was also the first woman to be inducted in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1997, alongside Arthur C. Clarke, H.G. Wells and Issac Asimov. She worked as a reader for Gnome Press and ran a small book store called "Mystery House." It is a truth universally acknowledged that Andre Norton loved cats. First British Edition, Second Impression.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Alan Breese (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of largely bright red jacket and spine, minuscule fading to spine, corners rubbed with tiny loss, not price clipped (21/-), small previous owner's name to ffep, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 267pp. The Stones, a family of 'Loonies' (residents of the Moon, known as 'Luna' in the book, from the Roman goddess), purchase and rebuild a used spaceship and go sightseeing around the Solar System. The twin teenage boys, named Castor and Pollux after the half brothers of classical legend, buy used bicycles on Luna to sell on Mars, their first stop, where they run afoul of local regulations but are freed by their grandmother Hazel Stone. While on Mars, the twins buy their brother Buster a native Martian creature called a flat cat, which produces a soothing vibration, as a pet. In preparation for the asteroid belt, where the equivalent of a gold rush is in progress prospecting for 'core material' and radioactive ores, the twins obtain supplies and luxury goods on Mars to sell at their destination, on the principle that it is shopkeepers, not miners, who get rich during gold rushes. En route the flat cat and its offspring overpopulate the ship so the family places them in hibernation and later sells them to the miners. The novel ends with the family setting out to see the rings of Saturn. One of Robert Heinlein's (1907-88), sci fi novels for young adults. A scarce book in this first UK impression.

General signs of age and use in places NOT EX-Library , B/W Frontispiece, ink gift inscription, ink ownership stamps; featuring the science prodigy and tomboy Peewee joining the boy hero Kip on his adventures. year is 2075 Young Kip must navigate a series of space obstacles by his scientific know-how and practical can-do attitude, with the help of little Pee Wee, only ten years old but a genius who can do interstellar mathematical calculations in her head. This book is remarkable in Golden Age science fiction for avoiding romance between the two (primarily through their age difference), though Pee Wee does occasionally have to scold Kip for the inefficiencies his ideas of chivalry create at times. Heinlein's final science fiction novel aimed at a juvenile audience.
